Jesus fought Satan in 'hand to hand combat' . . . 'you need to protect this victory.'

How good it is for us when the Lord unsettles our lukewarm and superficial lives.

There is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, they are persons, they are not some vague idea in the clouds. This God spray does not exist! The three persons exist!

Our life must be centred on what is essential, on Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.

We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel.

May both of them [Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II] teach us not to be scandalized by the wounds of Christ and to enter ever more deeply into the mystery of divine mercy, which always hopes and always forgives, because it always loves.

Let us leave a spare place at our table: a place for those who lack the basics, who are alone.
